Screen printing through Pasadena's year
Summer is the long, hot season in Pasadena, with about 74 days a year at 90°F or more, so lightweight tees and tanks deserve the biggest share of a screen print program. With every month's average high at 65°F or above, the fleece run can be small, sized for cool mornings and nights, while tees do most of the work. Hot summers and cool winter nights make a long-sleeve tee the most useful bridge between the summer tee run and the winter fleece, and it can carry the same front art. Expect about 5.2 inches of rain in February, the wettest month; an outdoor event then risks a washout, so print the date on event shirts only once the event is confirmed, or leave it off.

Screen Printing in Pasadena
Should a screen print order in Pasadena go on tees or hoodies?
Mostly lightweight tees. Summer heat in Pasadena makes tees and tanks the workhorses, and a hoodie run can be sized for evenings. The under-18 share is below the US figure, so adult sizes will make up most of the run, and a youth version of the print is only needed when a school or team asks.
